Abstract
Nonnephrology NPs often encounter patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. As patients transition to nephrology care, NPs need to communicate with them about their disease status and treatment. This article describes the treatment approach in patients with advanced kidney disease including medical management, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and transplantation.
